Title:
A Hardware Implementation of MAYO Signature Scheme

Authors: Florian Hirner, Michael Streibl, Ahmet Can Mert, Sujoy Sinha Roy

Abstract:

We present a hardware implementation for the MAYO post-quantum digital signature scheme, which is submitted to the American National Institute of Standards and Technology’s call for diversification of quantum-resistant public key cryptographic standards. The scheme is based on the Unbalanced Oil and Vinegar signature scheme, which operates on the fact that solving systems of multivariate polynomial
equations is NP-complete. MAYO utilizes a unique whipping technique in combination with emulsifier maps to offer a significant reduction in key size compared to other Unbalanced Oil and Vinegar signature schemes. In this paper, we demonstrate how to design a hardware architecture for the MAYO post-quantum signature scheme. We also provide a comprehensive analysis and propose multiple optimization techniques to reduce resource utilization and accelerate computation on hardware platforms.
